Open Daily, 10 a.m. - 5 p.m.
As daylight fades, Fernbank comes alive after hours—dinosaur-style. Welcome to LATER: Rex Factor, where you can roam the museum, explore interactive exhibits, wander through WildWoods, and come face-to-face with giants like the mighty T. rex, Giganotosaurus and more.
As part of Fernbank’s Dinosaur Summer, LATER: Rex Factor is a monthly event series where you can experience the museum at night with hands-on activities, a film in the Giant Screen Theater, and games designed for curious minds. Sips (including alcoholic beverages for those 21+) and a full prehistoric feast from Firefly Catering keep you fueled for adventure as you explore—or hang out in the Great Hall with DJ SLW & Steady on vinyl, because dinosaurs have good taste.
It’s casual, curious and just the right way to kick off the weekend as you connect, discover, and unwind in a come-and-go atmosphere for all ages—with a grownup vibe.
$23.95 for visitors and FREE for members!
